HOTARU
She's in a long black coat tonight
Waiting for me in the downpour outside

Shock flits sincerely over her face for a brief moment. They thought he’d burned the Society? “No, I don’t have a way of knowing. I know my opinion doesn’t much matter but I don’t think he’d do it with injured people in there. And if he was willing to confess about the Advocates, I don’t see why he’d exclude confessing to that as well.” Deimos was not the type to avoid owning up to his actions, for all it exasperates Hotaru.
She doesn’t necessarily have anything to say but she hums softly in agreement. Deimos never had a real need to come to Torchline in the first place, she doubts he’ll want to leave Halo at all for some time.
Her shoulders tense at his last words, finally breaking and looking his way, astounded. “A week? Absolutely not. Nate, that’s ridiculous. I came here willingly, I submitted to your questions thricefold, I even agreed to stay extra days. I am not going to remain here like a prisoner when you haven’t even made a decision!” Her upset only grows, betrayal stinging in her heart even when she should have never let hope or feelings fester. “And even if you do somehow find me to be an accomplice, why should my punishment be any worse than Deimos’ when he confessed outright? In that case I’d rather you exile me as well than deal with this farce, even if that means being called guilty when I’m not!” She has done everything they’ve asked of her, and it’s clear this has become entirely personal, because Deimos was banned and left alone entirely. But no, because of her connection to them, all fairness is clearly off the table.

singing "Baby come home" in a melody of tears
While the rhythm of the rain keeps time
